CHAPTER SIX - A toast to the king
Legolas and Aragorn come down the big steps to the dining hall, hand in hand. Luckily they see Frodo and Sam coming hallway opposite of them meaning they aren't late, and don't have to worry about their comrades wondering what they were doing instead of getting dressed.
They see the big hat of Gandalf coming their way so they slowly and regretfully let go of each others hand, feeling as if there is no hope and they've lost each other once more. Smiling brightly, they meet up with the good wizard, he escorts them deep into the dining hall and seats Aragorn at the head of the table with Legolas of to his right. As if by magic (and it could have been) food began appearing on the large oak-wood table. Everyone began pilling up their shiny silver plates with the contents of the feast.
Gimli, turning to Pipin talks through his food so suddenly, Pip jumps and looks at him wide-eyed. "Sure beats the bunny down at the camp don't it Pip?" Pippen rolls his eyes and scoots his plate toward Merry, clearly disgusted with the Dwarf's ejaculation and losing his rather large appetite.
Gandalf stands up with his goblet and clears his throat, obviously attempting to make a toast, but in all the chatter no one seems to pay any attention until his voice booms like thunder in an oddly polite manner. "EXCUSE ME!" Everyone looks at the wizard, terrified. "Thank you my good people, now I'd like to make a toast to our king." He nods in the direction of Aragorn and everyone starts to applaud and whistle at him, he raises a hand and smiles, his cheeks turning pink in pallor. "I'd just like to honor our King and all the people who helped destroy the ring." a random person screams, "YEAHYA!" Gandalf looks oddly in their direction and the person shrinks down in their seat. "ANYWAY! I would like to honor them with this feast and this toast, and everyone remember that wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for them." Everyone applauds suddenly. " And, may the King and Queen of Middle Earth live together and love till the end of their days." Suddenly Legolas stands and rushes out of the hall, closely followed by Aragorn. The diners look confused and end up going back to their plates.
